Okay, how would tying the two doors together prevent the doors from opening if the doors opened inwards? It’s pretty obvious the doors would have to open outwards from the bathroom into each suite. So the bathtub’s size and position in any diagram is even more irrelevant, I’d suggest.



If one has always lived in a country where bathroom doors (or outdoors, for that matter) as a rule open inwards, maybe the idea of a door opening outwards is too distant to contemplate.


It's a poor drawing. They look like doors that open inward. Doors that open outward would be need to be set more deeply into the door frame.


A poor drawing and a worse excuse.

There's only one way this could work and how it's drawn has very little to do with it.


If they open inwards you replace the rope with a stick.


A stick can handle both inwards and both outwards, but if one is in and one is out then it's no good.


Well it is cheaper to change the direction of the door than it is to demolish and rebuild the hotel.
